MSI K7T266 Pro-R Raid BIOS Problem
Hi
I have a MSI K7T266 Pro-R Mainboard (MS-6380 vers. 1.0) with a onboard Promise Fasttrack raid controller. I connected a new HD (Samsung SpinPoint 160 GB) to the raid controller and created a single drive array. The raid controller detects the HD only as a 130 000 000 000 Byte (127 GB) HD. So I flashed the newest BIOS from the MSI homepage (version 1.9) which should fix this problem. After the BIOS flash I deleted the single disk array and recreated it. But the HD is still not supported with the full 160 GB. How can I get the HD to work? I tried the MSI support but they are VERY slow. Thanks for your help and best regards from Switzerland Adrian -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =-----

On the Promise homepage it says I should contact the mainboard manufacturer
if I'm using a OEM product. So I contacted MSI a few days ago by mail but still don't have an anwser. I tryed to phone the tech support in Germany but up to now i never got through to a supporter. I once managed to get in to the queue but got lost the connection after 20 mins of waiting.. I guess I'll just have to keep trying..... Thx anyway Adrian "Noozer" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:M4MMb.77039$ts4.71598@pd7tw3no... Well, drives are working fine. Time to contact Promise or MSI. "Adrian" wrote in message ...
